I had the distinct pleasure of speaking at Prairie Dev Con in Regina on October 16, 2018. Had some fantastic attendees that I hope came out of my session with a better understanding of what can be done with PowerApps and Flow. As promised here is my slide deck from that session.

As I stated in my previous post I wanted to demonstrate how to do something in SPD Workflows as well as with Microsoft Flow. In this second part, I am going to be setting SharePoint list-item level security with Microsoft Flow. The steps are very similar, but I still wanted to provide examples for anyone just working away at some of these types of requirements within their own environments.

Something that I have come across a lot is solutions that require setting item level security after a particular occurrence on the list item (or in some workflow process). Specifically what I wanted to look at was how to do it using SharePoint Groups as opposed to AD users, though I will probably cover that later. This is going to be a two-part post as well because I am also going to do it with Microsoft Flow in my next blog. Moving forward, whenever I do a SharePoint Designer Workflow blog I am going to try and do a corresponding one for Flow as well.

This evening I had the extreme pleasure of giving a PowerShell and SharePoint presentation to the Granite State SharePoint User Group in New Hampshire. Presenting remotely was a bit of a challenge as I missed out on the pizza 🙁 and we had a bit of trouble with my demos. Well not really the demos, more the fact that my laptop could not run the VMs and maintain a Skype session. Now, this is not a bad thing about Skype. It actually did really well. The issue is that I tend to go a bit overboard with my VMs. For on-prem demos, I run four fully decked out VMs. I have a DC, SQL Server, SP2016 App and an SP2016 Web server all running on my laptop (yes my laptop is awesome). That uses up all the resources so I couldn’t display my demo at the same time.

That being said I think the session went awesome and I hope everyone enjoyed it. As promised I am providing the slide deck. You can access it here.

A huge thank you to Julie Turner and the other members of the user group. Thanks for joining me.
